NFL vs Texas

>> THE NFL HAS DECIDED TO GET A LITTLE POLITICAL AND COMMENT ON
LEGISLATION IN TEXAS THEY DEEM TO BE DISCRIMINATORY.
MUCH LIKE
NORTH CAROLINA TEXAS IS PUSHING
FOR AN ANTI-LGBT BILL THAT WOULD FORCE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TO USE
THE BATHROOM THAT IDENTIFIES WITH THE GENDER THEY WERE BORN
WITH.
APPARENTLY SOME IN THE NFL ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AND ARE
CASUALLY THREATENING THE STATE
OF TEXAS WITH PULLING FUTURE SPORTS EVENTS FROM THE STATE.
THE GOVERNOR IS NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THAT.
I WILL GIVE YOU HIS
STATEMENT.
CENK, YOU ARE A BIG
FAN OF THE NFL-
>> HONORABLE MENTION MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
I LOVE THAT THE NFL IS
DOING THIS.
WHY?
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE A
POSITION ON EVERY POLITICAL ISSUE.
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN
THEIR PRO-LIFE OR PRO CHOICE VIEWS.
THAT WOULD BE WEIRDLY
POLITICAL AND IN THE WEEDS, BUT THEY ARE TAKING AN ISSUE WITH IT
LIKE IT IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE.
THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SAYING
BACK IN THE DAY WE WILL NOT
SEGREGATE OUR TEAMS.
DON'T FORGET THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLY
CONTROVERSIAL POSITION AT THE
TIME.
THERE WERE A LOT OF GOVERNORS LIKE ABBOTT SAYING IT
IS OUTRAGEOUS LETTING BLACK PLAYERS PLAY WITH WHITE PLAYERS.
PEOPLE LIKE RICKY BRANCH WHO RAN THE DODGERS TOOK A BOLD STANCE
AND DECIDED TO DO THAT.
HISTORY HAS JUDGED THEM TO BE HEROES FOR
THAT.
WHEN THE NFL DOES THIS AND SAYS WE ARE ALL EQUAL, I THINK
HISTORY WILL LOOK UPON THEM VERY FAVORABLY.
>> GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT
HAS COMMENTED ON THIS.
I AM SO TIRED
OF PEOPLE TELLING INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH THAT
THEY SHOULD STAY OUT OF
POLITICS.
THESE ARE AMERICANS, IF THEY FEEL A MORAL OBLIGATION
OR ARE COMPELLED TO COMMENT THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COMMENT.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THEIR STATEMENTS DOESN'T MEAN
YOU GET TO TELL THEM TO SHUT UP AND PLAY FOOTBALL.
>> ABBOTT THINKS I GOT A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES ON MY SITE SO THE
NFL THINKS WE CAN PUSH THEM AROUND.
BUT HE GOES FURTHER.
THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS.
YOU CAN'T TELL THEM WHERE THEY CAN
AND CANNOT CONDUCT THEIR
BUSINESS.
THEY SAY YOU DO WHATEVER DECISION YOU LIKE BUT I
DON'T HAVE TO PUT MY BUSINESS
THERE.
BUT I DON'T HAVE TO PUT THE SUPER BOWL IN TEXAS.
TEXAS
HAS MORE SUPER BOWL'S THAN ALMOST ANY.
WE DON'T HAVE TO
MAKE THAT CHOICE WE CAN PUT IT
ANYWHERE WE LIKE.
ARE YOU GETTING INTO MY BUSINESS TO TELL
ME WHERE I CAN AND CAN'T HAVE
THE SUPER BOWL?
ARE YOU TELLING ME I HAVE TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST OTHER AMERICANS?
I BELIEVE IN THE FREE MARKET AND CAPITALISM SO WHY DO YOU STAY
THE HELL OUT OF MY BUSINESS?
>> I WANT TO ADD MORE TO WHAT I THINK IS A GROWING ISSUE
REGARDING POLITICAL SPEECH.
YOU CAN SHARE YOUR OPINIONS AND MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
DEPENDING ON YOUR POLITICS.
THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO
VALUE VARIOUS IDEAS.
YOU DO SEE THAT ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
WHILE
THE STORY IS HAPPENING TODAY, THERE IS ANOTHER STORY REGARDING
HOW REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE KID ROCK TO
RUN FOR U.S. SENATE.
I THOUGHT CELEBRITIES SHOULDN'T BE
INVOLVED IN POLITICS.
WHAT IF IT IS A CELEBRITY SAYING THINGS YOU
LIKE ALL THE SUDDEN YOU SHOULD
RUN FOR THE SENATE.
IT IS JUST INTERESTING.
>> IT GOES EVEN DEEPER THAN THAT.
IT'S LIKE SAYING HOW DARE
SUSAN SARANDON SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT DAPL.
DUDE, YOUR PRESIDENT IS A CELEBRITY.
DONALD TRUMP IS
A REALITY SHOW HOSTED.
YOUR OTHER REPUBLICAN DEMAGOGUE WAS
RONALD REAGAN, AN ACTOR.
